Description
Beautiful Banknotes of France by Peter Jones reveals the art and stories behind fifty of the most beautiful banknotes ever produced, often referred to as the "French touch". France printed these notes during the 1900s. The author provides full-page photos of each note, detailing the designer and the meaning behind the designs, along with fascinating biographies, historical context, and economic insights.
An introductory chapter offers a brief history of paper money, covering topics such as the Mississippi Bubble and paper money during the French Revolution. The remaining seven chapters describe the banknotes in detail, complete with tables, graphs, a glossary, and an index.
